E36 (1991 - 1999) The E36 chassis 3-Series BMW was a huge hit among driving enthusiasts from the first moment the car hit the pavement. The E36 won numerous awards over the years it was produced and is still a favorite of many BMW enthusiasts to this day! -- View the E36 Wiki

I was watching one of those 4x4 TV shows, and they were polishing Jeep windows with one of those "Mothers Powerballs". All they did was tape off the area around the window to keep from getting polishing compound on it (once you get it into the fabric it's hard to remove), then start buffing. Treat it like you're polishing hard plastic, don't press too hard and don't let the compound dry out.

Yep, use any plastic polish like you would use on the headlight covers. It may not come out perfect, but it will be an improvement. If it doesn't clean up well enough replacement is possible, and as long as you don't go the dealership it shouldn't cost a fortune.

If I try that on my plastic headllights, would it give a nice shiny finish ? ?
Like clearer lighting ?

Note sure if you're being serious...

It won't make side markers look like clear corners, but it will clear up cloudy head light covers (or any other plastic, like instrument cluster cover, tail lights, etc...) that have been dulled by years of road debris or the sun pelting them.
